Senate crisis: NASS Clerk faces trial as Police establish forgery

*File sent to Ministry of Justice*Buhari angry over how Clerk gate crashed into Ramadan dinner*Ekweremadu’s fate unknown

The Police appear to have established a case of forgery of the Senate Standing Orders 2015 which paved the way for the June 9, 2015 emergence of Dr. Bukola Saraki as Senate President and Chief Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President.

There were indications yesterday that the police might charge the Clerk to the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa to court for the alleged forgery of the Standing Orders.

Maikasuwa may be arraigned with some staff of the National Assembly suspected of having played one role or the other in the drafting of the rules.

But the fate of Ekweremadu who was one of those quizzed by the Police in the course of their investigation into the matter was unknown last night.

Police sources declined to discuss his fate.

Already, the case file has been sent to the Federal Ministry of Justice for advice and prosecution.

Besides the Standing Orders matter, the Clerk is also said to be facing a fresh crisis on how he was selected to be part of a Ramadan dinner (Iftar) with President Muhammadu Buhari while under investigation by the Police.

The Presidency is investigating alleged breach of protocol by the Clerk by attending the breaking of fast with the President.

Investigation in Abuja showed that the Police, acting on a petition by six Senators, believed that the Senate Standing Orders 2015 was forged.

According to findings, the Police team, led by Deputy Inspector-General Danazumi Job Doma, discovered many anomalies in the said Senate Standing Orders.

The Police findings include the followings:

*The Senate Standing Orders 2007(as amended) was still in force when the 7th Senate wound up.

*There was no time the 7th Senate amended the Standing Orders or any subsisting motion as shown in the Senate Standing Orders 2015

* The Senate Standing Orders 2015 was strange and a violation of Paragraph 110 of the Senate Standing Orders 2007(as amended)

*All the principal officers of the 7th Senate interviewed admitted that the Senate Standing Orders 2007(as amended) was not reviewed before their tenure ended.

* A clear case of forgery, manipulation, and tampering has been established.

* Those connected with the forgery should be immediately prosecuted.

A top police source said: “We have concluded our investigation and recommended the Clerk to the National Assembly and a few others for trial.

“The Clerk presided over the election of some Principal Officers of the Senate on June 9 with a forged Standing Orders 2015 when he ought to know better.

“As I am talking to you, we have sent the investigation file to the Federal Ministry of Justice for Legal Advice and prosecution.”

The police source said the Senate Standing Orders 2015 was not in compliance with Paragraph 110 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders 2007 (as amended).

The source added: “The National Assembly management claimed that it has the prerogative to set the rules for the election of a new set of Principal Officers since the 8th Senate was yet to be inaugurated.

“They said since nature abhors vacuum, they did nothing wrong with the Senate Standing Orders 2015.

“But when we asked them why they refused to use Senate Standing Orders 2007as the case with the 8th Senate, they were not too convincing.”

Paragraph 110(1) of the Senate Standing Orders 2007 (as amended) says: ” Any Senator desiring to amend any part of the Rules or adding any new clause shall give notice of such amendments in writing to the President of the Senate giving details of the proposed amendments.

“The President of the Senate shall within seven working days of the receipt of the notice, cause the amendments to be printed and circulated to members. Thereafter, it shall be printed in the Order Paper of the Senate.

“The Mover or Movers of the amendments shall be allowed to explain in detail the proposed amendments. Thereafter, the Senate shall decide by simple majority votes whether the amendments should be considered or rejected.

“If the decision is to consider the amendments, then another date shall be set aside by the Rules and Business Committee whereby opportunity would be given to Senators to further propose amendments but must strictly be confined to the original amendments. “Two-third majority shall decide the amendments and such amendments shall form part of the Rules of the Senate.”

Meanwhile, the Clerk to the National Assembly might be in fresh trouble over how he was included in the list of those who broke Ramadan fast with President Buhari while still being investigated by the police.

A breach of protocol was being probed as at press time.

But the President made the Clerk to know that he was an unwanted guest at the Villa when he was introduced at the end of the dinner.

A source said: “When he was introduced to Buhari for a handshake after the dinner, the President said: ‘You, how did you get here? If I knew I would not have allowed you to enter this place.’ I think some protocol officers committed a slip.

“We did not know how he got onto the list of the guests of the President. This is why the President is very strict with his schedule and aides.”

Saraki and his cohorts are gunned down already let his supporters from south east start the weeping

I really hate to say it. But I think we should have passed the stage in Nigeria, when you read a comment supporting fraud or any malfeasance to get a political position and you can almost be sure eight in 10 persons from a particular Nigerian tribe will never condemn any such misconduct by any one of their own. That is not a way to build a developed human society. I can bet there will all sorts of primitive behaviour when such tribe is now an autonomous nation within a loose federation, since every body there will belong to one tribe, but since mist people thete have been bred to believe any conduct is acceptable once you get what you want, there will be a resort to supporting anything done by anybody once they share clans. Of course, immediately we get to a situation of “every one for himself”, and only possibly God “for all of us” it is the beginning of the end of a stable human society…

Even Shekau can beat protocol and have a little nap on the president´s bed at the villa if he wants to, protocol only exist in name in Nigeria. As for the senators, the clerk of the house should be prosecuted and jailed for forgery. Saraki and Ekweremandu has already emerged. They are Nigerians, that is all that concerns me. The duo should tow the path of honor and work with the executives to eliminate corruption from the system by amending the Nigerian laws against vices to include the death penalty for corruption, kidnapping, treason, terrorism and armed robbery.

Funsho Temilade

Any election or business based on the forged document is null and void. Those principal offices resulted from falsehood and cannot stand, at least the Court will see to that.

You mean to say – tow the path of honour and walk out ie resign sir. And supposed they partook in forgery, what then? Are you, sir , not perceiving the smelling of kirikiri for them on this one? Sir.

Do you think somebody that worked his way to the top through forged standing order will be willing to amend the laws in a way that offenders will be prosecuted knowing fully well that he will soon fall victim because he has ambition which we all know? The man is eyeing aso rock and if getting there will involve forging the Nigeria constitution he will not mind. Take it or leave it they Saraki, Mark, Ike, clerk all have fore knowledge of what happened to the house standing rules.

Buhari Using EFCC as Political Weapon, Nigeria is Back in the Dark Era. – APC Senator, Dino Melaye

**APC intends to beat members into submission with EFCC witch-hunt – Melaye.

In the wake of the on-going political crisis in the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Dino Melaye has said that the invitation of the wife of the senate president, Mrs Toyin Saraki by the Economic Crime Commission, EFCC, is connected to the plot by the leadership of the party to witch-hunt those who have gone contrary to the party’s directives in the National Assembly.

In a statement signed by senator Melaye under the aegis of Like Minds, he described as pure witch-hunting, the fact that the EFCC has been drag into partisan politics by the ruling APC, using the anti-graft agency as a tool to beat members into submission.
He wondered how after five years of leaving office as the first lady of Kwara State, that EFCC suddenly woke up to invite Mrs Toyin during a period where her husband was having a running battle with the powers that be in the APC.

The EFCC invited Toyin Saraki, the wife of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on July 23 for questioning for undisclosed reasons, but reports claim that Mrs. Saraki is being probed in relation to several contracts executed by companies said to be linked to her while her husband held sway as the Kwara Governor.

Datti

Read the papers again. The invitation to Saraki’s wife was premised on the petition from the Kwara State PDP. Most papers broke the news today

MindYourself

Edward, you are right too. It is both chains and change. For the corrupt, it is chains; to those who are against corruption, it would be called change. @eddy, you are correct.

Akaninyene B. Sunday

It is high time PDP rogues started thinking of being in chains. Oh! sorry, i wanted to say “handcuffs” because so much arrest and prosecutions would be made in this era due to incessant looting of the treasury, malpractices, impunity,etc. You were led by the Spirit when you said chains or handcuffs.

The same old APC sonsored rubbish

Tugbi

No room for forger. The clerk must be transferred immediately he forge document and forge himself to presidential villa

Hassan

Are ignorant of the law that states that an accused remains innocent until convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction? The clerk is still innocent until convicted. It’s is possible that police compromised.

raji

Without police even telling us we all know the truth because its in public domain. 2015 rule was used which everybody agreed including saraki and ekweremadu and all the senator that was interview said there is never a time the 2007 was amended. So please what will police compromised.

You are right and the Police only just sent the file for legal advice. Until the outcome of the legal advise and successful prosecution, the Clerk remains innocent. The level of newspaper trial here indicates that Nigerian lawyers now constitute about 80% of the populace.

charles

Must he pertake the presidential dinner? If he must, should he have done it fraudulently? Ekweremadu should have known better to ask question if not for an act of desperation. I use to respect him but ….

Obalola

This Clerk of the House is too much! This guy must have been the Director General at Oluwole before he moved to the House. He forged SP and DSP to office and he forged his way into the Villa. He must be arrested and detained because i guess this Guy must have many forged Passports to escape from the country. What a shame! How can people who forged their way into high offices in the Senate support the fight against corruption. Baba Buhari should deal with this guys decisively and send strong signal to the whole world that the end has come to the rottenness of Jonathan era.

Edward

The Nation is just looking for a way to rope in Senate Ekweremadu, but the said Source didn’t grant their prayers. Same time, read: “The source added: “The National Assembly management claimed that it has the prerogative to set the rules for the election of a new set of Principal Officers since the 8th Senate was yet to be inaugurated.

“They said since nature abhors vacuum, they did nothing wrong with the Senate Standing Orders 2015.:

What the corrupt police officer didn’t tell us is, does the NASS Leadership have the prerogative to amend the rules? If yes, case closed.

If at the end, it happens that the rules have been changed since 2007, then The Nation and their notorious Source should apologise to the Clerk.

Actor

Read the report again. For your inf, the report indicated how the NASS rules could be amended. Stop pretending. Saraki and your Ekeremadu are fraudulent. They should resign if they have honour.

inaede benedict

Read the report on how amendments can be made. It is a process not one seat down and collect money to impose inept leadership. He must go to jail, don’t forget he is an hausa man . how did he get to dinner with the president. ?criminal

Yet the issues raised are still not addressed.

Pls the least you can do is to finish reading the report before you make comments.It is clearly stated how amendments can be made to the document. Pls be guided and stop making stupid comments at peoples expense.

My brother,it’s very very simple and you understood it.If any body wishes,let them perpetrate evil and we will see the end.
Nature abhors a vacuum.Who will advance the process of amendment of any supposed or impending senate standing rule?…Ghosts or the 7th senate on June 9th?The ministry of Justice should interprete better.We are in for knowledge either way.

O’seun Ogunseitan

Wetin do you. Read the same report in three other newspapers. Stop denying what your eyes are seeing and your brain is correctly interpreting.

The simple summary of all the reports, is that the supposed inauguration of the 8th Senate was based on a forgery and so it was a fallacy. If the Clerk said he unilatetally forged the Senate Rules, he will be duly punished alone. If he had accomplices, they will be punished together.

More importantly however, that the immediate past Senate President, a three-term Senator and his Deputy, a two-term Senator, did not recognise or realise that they were being presented with forged Senate Rules, conclusively proves that some Nigerian Senior Law-makers that Senators are, will never even be acceptable as apprentice drafts men in good Law firms.

a2ajayi_maxwell

KUDOS!

You seems not to understand the antic of our politicians; all that they (senate) said in defense of their actions was not correctly interpreted and the police is not the one to interpret it rather it is the court. Wait and see events as they unfold.

raji

You must be ekeremadu brother that has destroy this country. For the past 16 years of democracy, national assembly management has never set rules for the senate its senator them self that set the rules and there is a process for such. Why is it now that the management will set the rule for the senator. Please let stop supporting criminal for the sake of children.

sammyctu ode

saraki and all his so called principal officers should resign. He and his deputy cannot claim ignorance of the standing order rule since both of them were in the 7th senate assembly. We need honest and people with integrity in the senate and Nigeria.

Hassan

Why should they resign? Did that report indicate them or the clerk? Stop dreaming

raji

Both of them are in 7th senate and there never a time when the rule was amended and now they allow a new rule to be use so that means they have knowledge of it.

a2ajayi_maxwell

I AGREE WITH YOU. SARAKI, EKWEREMADNESS AND CO ARE ACCOMPLICES TO FORGERY AND DECENCY AND HONOR DEMANDS THEY STEP DOWN BEFORE THE LAW DISGRACES THEM OUT WITH APPROPRIATE JAIL TERMS.

SHOLA EUROPA

Both of them were product and proceeds of illegality,after resigning,their is need for them to spent some years behind bars with hard labour.

Tum Nathaniel

Clark you can’t legalize illegality to be legality and so, the election of Senate president Bukola Saraki and his Deputy Ekwere Madu is highly questionable and a coup against the change we voted for.

Anthony Obiagwu

Those on this forum accusing Mr President as whatever should be careful. It is the duty of the previous administration to investigate that case with all the authority at their reach. So for not doing So, They should be made to prove why They said he does not certificate in the first Place.
Can’t you see that They are chief executive forgers? Forging from standing rule to invitation card. What a useless set of human beings
Moreso, birds of same feather flock together.Therefore, my President who is not same specie with theirs is probing how he “They” flocked with him.
Anybody can choose to abuse my view but i can assure you that our change is if you are good you remain on the street if you are not you remain behind the bar. For everybody, for nobody.

O’seun Ogunseitan

Even you know you are not being honest with your interpretation of what is playing out now in the incoming 8th Nigerian Senate, where we can all see that indeed the PDP was just the name of a Party. But that the Party ran Nigerua aground because it ran on the mantra of its very corrupt leading lights.

Hassan

You did not address the issue he raised

Sani Mohammed

The truth will soon come out. The PDP installed SARAKI and DOGARA to delay and frustrate the anti – corruption crusade of Buhari and APC.The change of rules was done illegally and the prosecution of the criminal act will reveal the masterminds of this crime. Meanwhile any action taken including elections based on the forgery are null and void and of no effect. There will soon be a change of leadership in the Senate

How can the police claim it has submitted a report to the presidency on the frivolous allegation that the senate rules were forged. Where did the police concoct such report from? The Nigerian Police would not cease to amaze me. How can the police manufacture such a dubious report even without hearing the version of any of those allegedly involved. Obviously, if there is such a report, then the APC midwives of confusion would have delivered it. But I want to warn that the police must be very careful as well as those who are using the police to achieve their narrow political agenda. There is a prophecy about Nigeria breaking up in 2015. Could the APC be the instrument of fulfilling this prophecy? Must we destroy this country because of political expediency. The purported police report is a nullity and the police should do well not to lend itself a willing tool in the hands of desperate politicians. I just hope we survive this period. Already APC foot soldiers and other prophets of doom are about saying unprintable things. One thing is certain in all this: The present NASS leadership has come to stay

a2ajayi_maxwell

Artful Dodger

Thumb up for those who noticed the errors in the rules and alerted the nation. It is very unfortunate Ekweremandu got himself involved in these mess, he shouldnt have given in to his greed having held the same office for years. Saraki should be prosecuted along with the clerk of the house. The personal greed of one many must no longer be allowed to determine the fortunes of over 170 million people.

My immediate reaction is that I know Nigeria police, Nigeria tribal minded media and the APC propaganda well enough to accept their good morning without checking the status time of the day. Having gone through the reportage twice, what strikes me most is what the unknown police source said about the production of the standing rule in question.The source said : “The National Assembly management claimed that it has the prerogative to set the rules for the election of a new set of Principal Officers since the 8th Senate was yet to be inaugurated.
“They said since nature abhors vacuum, they did nothing wrong with the Senate Standing Orders 2015.
“But when we asked them why they refused to use Senate Standing Orders 2007as the case with the 8th Senate, they were not too convincing.” The Nass management interpretated the law as they understood it with their own legal unit and another interpretation has been written and given to police to adopt as police interpretation. In a democracy, the two versions of the interpretation should be subjected to judicial scrutiny not presidential judgment. We are a country of laws and only the court can give us the correct interpretation of the laws when we get maliciously confused.

Ezomon Ehichioya

Was there a vacuum when the 7th Senate used the Senate Standing Orders 2007 for the election of the presiding officers in 2011? Why didn’t the Clerk and his group amend the Orders for the Seventh Senate? It’s because only senators themselves have that prerogative.

The national assembly clerk should be formally charged and made to face the court of law to defend himself of bribery changes.Truly,the clerk of the national assembly should also be re-deployed from the clerkship office in order to allow a new clerk to straighten things in order in the office of the clerk in the national assembly.

Dr Pat Kolawole Awosan

Justice must prevail. This is not PDP era of impunity-cum-corruption. Sai Buhari!

Bassey Eniang

According to the Lagos State DPP, in Legal Advice, RE: COMMISSIONER OF POLICE VERSUS AKINFEMI ONADELE, OGUNTOYE JAMES DELE, ANUP UK MARCH AGARWAL, RAJ GUPTA, PS SRIVASTAVA, ALOK GUPTA (Ref No. LJ/ADV.268/2005 149 dated 10th Feb 2006), on the issue of forgery and other such related offences, the fact that a document which tells the truth about itself also contains false statement does not make it a forged document in our law!

I wonder how this position of the DPP will play out in the unfolding drama relating to this fight by President M Buhari, the Federal Government and the Police, against fraud, criminal offence and corruption! I ask Nigerians to continue to pray for our President and his team including the Inspector General of Police that God will grant them strength and Divine wisdom to prevail in this deadly fight against evil and the sponsors of fraud, criminal offence and corrupt practice! We should recall that President Buhari said, “When you fight corruption, corruption fights back. We must kill corruption or corruption will kill Nigeria”! God forbid that we should allow corruption to “kill Nigeria”!

I have been in a deadly fight against corruption, fraud, criminal conversion of my company’s property and impersonation of my solicitors by the above party’s company secretary, solicitor and land agent who used the title documents of their own Plot C8 Amuwo Odofin Commercial Scheme to obtain and register fraudulent Consent to Assignment of my company’s Plot C9! In order to perfect the fraud, the first suspect for his party made application to the Lands Bureau claiming falsely to be “solicitor” to my company and having our “instruction” when they were never instructed!

They also used for the criminal transaction, Tax Clearance Certificate (No. 0214098 issued on 3/11/2001 certifying tax paid 18 days after, on 21/11/2001, having purported “seller’s” name but their own address, 6 Bauchi Rd, Apapa). All the criminal acts were done even as the civil aspect of the matter is in court! The documents with false statements are what the DPP posited are not forgery. I asked if they were tainted, fraudulent and so tenable for public use like Governor’s Consent and registration. Ten years on, I have not received any answer.

The Police got two court warrants for the arrest of the suspects, Alok Gupta and Raj Gupta, since Feb 20th 2013 but the warrants have not been execute todate as according to the Police, the “suspects travelled out of the country on holidays”! Aluta continua!
